FORUM for Post Me_New ID CYNETart_08 festival / TMA Hellerau in Dresden | 31st October - 2nd November 2008* http://www.postme-newid.net/ International media art festival CYNETart_08 held in Dresden, Germany, will host the forum "Post Me_New ID" from 31st October to 2nd November 2008. The forum will bring together interdisciplinary practitioners in art, science and technology to discuss in various formats, from keynotes to Quickfires, issues concerning contemporary and future forms of networked creations and multi-identities. Among the speakers and performers there will be kondition pluriel (Canada), Mika Satomi and Hannah Perner-Wilson (Austria), Masaki Fujihata (Japan), Denisa Kera (Czech Republic/Singapore), Michael Takeo Magruder (Unites States/United Kingdom), Sita Popat (United Kingdom), Susanne Berkenheger (Germany) and many more. The forum is planned as a platform for reflection on how we are creatively and socially engaged in digital networks, how we perform our online and offline identities, how we have become plural and variable post human bodies. "We are asking ourselves > what is next?< applying the to-be-presented theories to our own cultural/art creating and networking practices"... says Ghislaine Boddington (United Kingdom), one of the forum organisers.

Post Me_New ID examines the complexity of 21st century European identity through an exploration based on the effect of digital technologies of the body and identity. An active and public Blog is fed by a series of debate led Research Engines with a Forum, Book and DVD as the end products. In addition a series of Creation Processes will result in a public Installation / Performance. Post Me_New ID forum is co-produced by an international consortium of partners coming from Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia and United Kingdom, within an action/research project of the same name, which focuses on the future of the body, and is co-financed by the European Commission under Culture 2007 programme. *************************************** *Co-producers for Post Me_ New ID are:* body>data>space - www.bodydataspace.net CIANT - www.ciant.cz Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau www.body-bytes.de Kibla - www.kibla.org *Associated Funding Bodies & Institutions for Post Me_ New ID are:* European Commission DG Education and Culture - Culture 2007-2013 ec.europa.eu/dgs/education_culture/index_en Arts Council England - www.artscouncil.org.uk Prague City Hall - magistrat.praha-mesto.cz/Home-Page European Commission -- Culture - ec.europa.eu/culture/index_en.htm Ministry of Culture - Czech Republic - www.mkcr.cz ResCen - Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts - www.rescen.net EZKA - European Centre for the Arts - www.kunstforumhellerau.de Mestna obina Maribor - www.maribor.si/podrocje.aspx Government of the Republic of Slovenia - Ministry of Culture - magistrat.praha-mesto.cz/l2 *The 14 Associated partners for Post Me_ New ID are:* A4-nulty priestor - Bratislava - www.a4.sk Brunel University - London,UK - www.brunel.ac.uk Charles University - Czech Republic - www.cuni.cz Grains and Pixels - Sweden - www.bertrandgondouin.net/post/Grains-Pixels Hellen Sky - Australia - www.hellensky.com Leeds University - UK - www.leeds.ac.uk/icsrim M2F Creations - France - www.m2fcreations.fr Multiplace - Slovakia - www.multiplace.ski/2007/ PROJECT DCM Foundation - Romania - www.rhiz.eu/institution-9567-en.html Rehearsal.org and Ignite - London,UK - www.rehearsal.org.uk ResCen Middlesex University - London,UK - www.mdx.ac.uk/rescen/ SKA CULTURE - China - www.skaculture.com Swap-Project - Portugal - www.swap-project.com Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music - Tokyo, Japan - www.geidai.ac.jp/english/ ***************************************
